" Even if you can avoid your state’s sales taxes, you’ll be subject to an equal amount of use tax if you use the vehicle in your home state for more than a very limited amount of time. In many states, you’ll avoid use tax only if you don’t use the vehicle in your state of residence for a full year after you buy it. Others require that you don’t use the vehicle in your state for more than 90 consecutive days."

Yes, in many states, your neighbors WILL call and turn you in!
If you don't bring it home, they can't do that.
Yes, some states have license plate inspectors checking repair facilities and storage lots.
If you don't bring it home, they have nothing to see.
KNOW, COMPLY, AND DOCUMENT.
No problem.
Simple. Purchase your new RV in Montana, park it in a storage lot in Montana, and you will have no problem. Do not drive it out of Montana and you can say with authority, I beat my "home" state out of the taxes they desire. Makes you feel good, doesn't it.
